Merge branch 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'core-rcu-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: smp: Document transitivity for memory barriers. rcu: add comment saying why DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD depends on PREEMPT. rcupdate: remove dead code rcu: add documentation saying which RCU flavor to choose rcutorture: Get rid of duplicate sched.h include rcu: call __rcu_read_unlock() in exit_rcu for tiny RCU
